A sketch (not to scale) shows axions (blue) streaming out of the Sun and then converting into X-rays
(orange) in the Earth's magnetic field (red). The X-rays are then detected by the XMM-Newton
observatory. [13]
Hidden photons
Hidden photons are predicted in some extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics, and
unlike WIMPs they would interact electromagnetically with normal matter. Hidden photons also
have a very small mass, and are expected to oscillate into normal photons in a process similar to
neutrino oscillation. Observing such oscillations relies on detectors that are sensitive to extremely
small electromagnetic signals, and a number of these extremely difficult experiments have been
built or proposed.
A spherical mirror is ideal for detecting such light because the emitted photons would be
concentrated at the sphere's centre, whereas any background light bouncing off the mirror would
pass through a focus midway between the sphere's surface and centre. A receiver placed at the
centre could then pick up the dark-matter-generated photons, if tuned to their frequency which is
related to the mass of the incoming hidden photons with mirror and receiver shielded as much as
possible from stray electromagnetic waves.
set of low-noise photomultiplier tubes for measurements of visible light, which corresponds to
hidden-photon masses of about 1 eV/C2. Another obvious choice is a receiver for gigahertz radiation,
which corresponds to masses less than 0.001 eV/C2; however, this latter set-up would require more
shielding.
The data summarized in the illustration above involve the measurement of the redshifts of the
distant supernovae. The observed magnitudes are plotted against the redshift parameter z. Note
that there are a number of Type 1a supernovae around z=.6, which with a Hubble constant of 71
km/s/mpc is a distance of about 5 billion light years.
Equation
The cosmological constant appears in Einstein's field equation [5] in the form of
where R and g describe the structure of spacetime, T pertains to matter and energy affecting that
structure, and G and c are conversion factors that arise from using traditional units of measurement.
When is zero, this reduces to the original field equation of general relativity. When T is zero, the
field equation describes empty space (the vacuum).
The cosmological constant
ant has the same effect as an intrinsic energy density of the vacuum, vac (and
an associated pressure). In this context it is commonly moved onto the right-hand
right hand side of the
equation, and defined with a proportionality factor of 8:
8 = 8vac, where unit conventions of
general relativity are used (otherwise factors of G and c would also appear). It is common to quote
values of energy density directly, though still using the name "cosmological constant".
A positive vacuum energy density resulting from a cosmological
cosmological constant implies a negative
pressure, and vice versa. If the energy density is positive, the associated negative pressure will drive
an accelerated expansion of the universe, as observed. (See dark energy and cosmic inflation for
details.)
Explanatory models
Models attempting to explain accelerating expansion include some form of dark energy, dark fluid or
phantom energy. The most important property of dark energy is that it has negative pressure which
is distributed relatively homogeneously in space.
space. The simplest explanation for dark energy is that it is
a cosmological constant or vacuum energy; this leads to the Lambda-CDM
Lambda CDM model, which is generally
known as the Standard Model of Cosmology as of 2003-2013,

agreement
greement with a variety of recent observations.
Thermal radiation
Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of charged
particles in matter.. All matter with a temperature greater than absolute zero emits thermal
ther
radiation. When the temperature of the body is greater than absolute zero, interatomic collisions
cause the kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules to change. This results in charge-acceleration

and/or dipole oscillation which produces electromagnetic radiation,, and the wide spectrum of
radiation reflects the wide spectrum of energies and accelerations that occur even at a single
temperature. [8]
proton, they masses are different, also as the wavelengths on both sides of the diffraction pattern,
giving equal intensity of radiation.
If the mass is electromagnetic, then the gravitation is also electromagnetic effect caused by the
accelerating Universe! The same charges would attract each other if they are moving parallel by the
magnetic effect.
The Planck distribution law explains the different frequencies of the proton and electron, giving
equal intensity to different lambda wavelengths! Also since the particles are diffraction patterns
they have some closeness to each other can be seen as a gravitational force.
The Graviton
In physics, the graviton is a hypothetical elementary particle that mediates the force of gravitation in
the framework of quantum field theory. If it exists, the graviton is expected to be massless (because
the gravitational force appears to have unlimited range) and must be a spin-2 boson. The spin
follows from the fact that the source of gravitation is the stress-energy tensor, a second-rank tensor
(compared to electromagnetism's spin-1 photon, the source of which is the four-current, a first-rank
tensor). Additionally, it can be shown that any massless spin-2 field would give rise to a force
indistinguishable from gravitation, because a massless spin-2 field must couple to (interact with) the
stress-energy tensor in the same way that the gravitational field does. This result suggests that, if a
massless spin-2 particle is discovered, it must be the graviton, so that the only experimental
verification needed for the graviton may simply be the discovery of a massless spin-2 particle. [2]
Conclusions
Researchers predict that axions, if they exist, would be produced invisibly by the Sun, but would
convert to X-rays as they hit Earths magnetic field. This X-ray signal should in theory be strongest
when looking through the sunward side of the magnetic field, as this is where the Earths magnetic
field is strongest.
Hidden photons are predicted in some extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics, and
unlike WIMPs they would interact electromagnetically with normal matter.
In particle physics and astrophysics, weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, are among the
leading hypothetical particle physics candidates for dark matter.
The gravitational force attracting the matter, causing concentration of the matter in a small space
and leaving much space with low matter concentration: dark matter and energy.
There is an asymmetry between the mass of the electric charges, for example proton and electron,
can understood by the asymmetrical Planck Distribution Law. This temperature dependent energy
distribution is asymmetric around the maximum intensity, where the annihilation of matter and
antimatter is a high probability event. The asymmetric sides are creating different frequencies of
electromagnetic radiations being in the same intensity level and compensating each other. One of
these compensating ratios is the electron proton mass ratio. The lower energy side has no
compensating intensity level, it is the dark energy and the corresponding matter is the dark matter.
The electric currents causing self maintaining electric potential is the source of the special and
general relativistic effects. The Higgs Field is the result of the electromagnetic induction. The
Graviton is two photons together. [3]
